We want to create better living conditions and equal opportunities for everyone while also fighting to combat unfair racial prejudices. We want to give international residents in Bologna a voice: one voice. Many of us here live, work and contribute an enormous amount of energy to our local communities yet, there are almost 150 ethnic communities here without a single voice representing 60,000 fore
ign born residents here. As such, vital issues concerning work, health and security are dealt with poorly at a local government level because they often do not take into account cultural or religious diversities. Integration is therefore a huge concern especially given the increased presence of foreigners and tourists arriving in Bologna now. One World seeks to reunite many of those forces at the least to discuss how we as a multi-cultural city can resolve these issues as well as planning for future ones. ONE WORLD is open to any foreigners born abroad or naturalized Italian citizens, and expatriates. Our aims are:
- to help people integrate into Bolognese communities
- to create a network in order to break down cultural, religious and language barriers so that we can all live better and without prejudices
- to promote Bologna as a city of opportunity for everyone who is willing to work for it. Our office is located in the Centro Sociale Lunetta Gamberini where we will also be organising meetings and events for our members.
